Summertime    and the livin' is easy, fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high.
              Dmin7        Emin7    A7                     Dmin7              
Oh your daddy's rich and your momma's good looking
     Fmaj7      Dmin7 Emin7 A7      Dmin7
so hush little baby,   don't        you cry.

One of these mornings your gonna rise up singing
then you'll spread your wings and take the sky.
But 'til that morning there's a nothin' can harm you
with Daddy and Mommy, standin' by.
